Summary
Henry is a K–5 elementary school in Long Beach, serving 796 students in Long Beach Unified. Its results are strong compared with state and district benchmarks, but the most important finding for families comparing nearby elementary schools is that Henry trails the average of seven nearby K–5 schools in all three tested subjects.
Henry is well above state and district results in ELA, math and science: 64% were proficient in ELA, 59% in math and 50% in science in 2025–2026. Those results exceeded the state by 15, 20 and 14 percentage points, respectively, and Long Beach Unified by 13, 19 and 18 points. Locally, however, Henry was 3 points below the nearby-school average in ELA, 5 points below in math and 8 points below in science—the clearest relative weakness. One notable strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 7%, versus 25% districtwide and 18% statewide, and was lower than at every nearby school listed.
Over time, science proficiency rose from 41% in 2022–2023 to 50% in 2025–2026, while ELA fell from 66% to 64%; math edged up from 57% to 59%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,103rd of 5,804 California schools, at the 81st percentile with 4 stars; seven nearby schools have higher percentiles. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 27.4, second-highest among the nearby schools listed. In that school year, 23% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-lowest rate among nearby schools with comparable data. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings differ notably: Henry ranked at the 95th percentile for serving Hispanic Students, compared with the overall 81st percentile; for White Students, it ranked at the 53rd percentile, down from the 71st percentile the prior year.
